Quality Management relates to the wholistic quality management framework that has been established and implemented at your working place, to ensure process performance, quality of products and services and continual improvement. Read our article about quality management for more.

Quality control is retrospective – a final check or lagging indicator of performance. It doesn’t take into account the whole quality management system framework. Our experts have more to explain. feel free to contact them if interested to know more.

When you have implemented a QMS, and achieved certification to ISO 9001 or certification to some other quality standards, you are deemed to be a Quality Assured company.

ISO 9001 is the world's most used standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). Used in over 178 countries, ISO 9001 gives organizations a set of management guidelines that help ensure consistently high-quality products and services. ISO 9001 does not outline exactly how a business should be managed. Instead, it offers a flexible system that companies can implement to improve quality control.

The Quality Management System presented in ISO 9001 can help a business produce products or deliver services of reliably high quality, improve customer satisfaction, boost operational efficiency, manage risks, and more. Like other types of ISO certifications, ISO 9001 certification shows your company's stakeholders that you care about quality and effective management. With ISO 9001 certification, you may even be able to get more business, since many international companies will only work with ISO-certified partners.

ISO 9001 is not a legal requirement. Companies can choose whether or not to be certified to ISO 9001 or not. That said, Government and Private Request for Tenders (RFTs) often include criteria related to Quality, Safety, and Environmental Certifications. Depending on whether you have a Quality Management System, may mean the difference between winning the tender, or losing the tender to a competitor.

To get ISO 9001 Certified you need to complete 3 simple steps as follows: Step 1 Development – build the QMS documentation to meet ISO 9001 requirements. Step 2 Implementation – Implement the Requirements of the QMS as documented. Step 3 Internal Audit – Complete an internal audit and management review meeting. Once that has been completed, you can engage an accredited Certification Body to conduct your certification audit. See Our Article about the steps of ISO Certification for more information.

An Internal Audit (= first-party audit) is an assessment of whether the management system meets requirements of the applicable standards AND is effectively implemented and maintained.

A Gap Analysis Audit is similar to an internal audit; however, it is usually undertaken in the early stages of management system preparation, prior to certification. It is an assessment of whether the management system meets requirements of the applicable standards AND is effectively implemented and maintained, and provides a Gap Audit Report which includes deficiencies identified, and associated improvement suggestions. We at 4Z for Quality, perform most reliable and cost-effective GAP Analysis for our valuable customer. Call us Today to ask for advice.

A 3-month period is ideal and consists of 3 phases: Month 1 – Development, Month 2 – Implementation, Month 3 – Internal audit & management review. Fast ISO Certification may be possible if required (in 10 Days), but there are some factors that can affect timeframes. For more details talk with our consultants.

ISO Certification cost depends on a range of factors. These include, internal resourcing capabilities, pre-existing management system documentation, as well as organisation size, and scope of products and services offered. Key costs involved are the cost of the Certification Body and the cost of the ISO Consultant. Ask our Experts for more information.
